lyrics

He had good luck and a little bit of money
But it run out a couple days ago
At some blackjack table in Reno
Where they cleaned him out of all his dough

It was a cold dark night in the desert
Under a haloed moon
He's got no place left to go back to
Can't afford no hotel room

So he's sleeping in the streets tonight
Cant tell her where all the money went
She was an awful patient woman
But every month he gambled away all the rent

Weren't too long 'for he took to drinkin'
To chase them blues away
Ever since his woman left him
He ain't never been the same

*BRIDGE*
She left feeling lonesome
Ten years ago
If he died in the morning
No one would know
A gamblin' man's lament

He died alone one morning
Figured no reason left to live
One foot was on the platform
But the other just stepped right off the bridge
